Whether it's staying connected with friends and family or collaborating with colleagues, chat apps like WhatsApp and Telegram have revolutionized the way we communicate. If you've ever wondered how to create your own 1v1 chat app, this tutorial is for you! We'll guide you through the process of building a feature-rich 1v1 chat app using Android Studio, Tencent UIKit, and Tencent SDK, enabling you to create a seamless and engaging chatting experience for your users. By the end of this tutorial, you'll have a fully functional 1v1 chat app ready to be customized and deployed.

Environment requirements

  • Android Studio-Chipmunk
  • Gradle-6.7.1
  • Android Gradle Plugin Version-4.2.0
  • kotlin-gradle-plugin-1.5.31

Step 1: Create an App

1. Log in to the Console. If you already have an app, record its SDKAppID and SDKSecretKey.

Note:

1. A Chat account can create a maximum of 300 Chat apps. If you want to create a new app, you can disable and delete an unwanted app first.

2. Once an app (along with its SDKAppID) is deleted, the service it provides and all its data are lost. Please operate with caution.

2. Click Create Application, enter your Application name, product, Region, and click Create.
